I would leave them the color they are, I always feel like when there painted black, they look like the full spare rim lol.

What are the blocks 1"?

Also, I don't know if your interested, by Dodge was able to adjust my speedo/odo when I got the larger tires so my mileage and speedometer stayed correct. It cost me like $50 I think.

Nice job. I think you should strip the wheels and have them powdercoated flat black with 10% gloss.......insane.

Dont you ever have anything nice to say? I bet your dad did not get his mud terrains brand new for 75 dollars each.

These are the bfg's from the new wranglers. They are selling really cheap everywhere factory direct priceing and are 32's. Remember I had a rubicon with these tires on it stock.

The tires your "dad" have are probably like my other mud terrains on my jeep. the km2 tread pattern. I had 35's on the Jeep. But she will be missed. Another Jeep is in my future.

Got the ram rims for 50 bucks locally. they are 17x7's needed them for the cheap NEW mud terrains.

Mud terrains were 75 each from a dealer in Arkansas.

The blocks are 1.5 inch. I was going to get ram blocks but these were cheaper and easier to find.!

I looked at the firestones too, they dont have a 3 ply sidewall like the bfg muds do and they wanted almost 180 dollars a tire. Like I said I got these tire 75 bucks. Just way too good a deal.
